Overview:

In the Allied invasion in southern France, the Dragoon plan called for early morning raids on each of the German flanks, followed by paratroop drops and glider landings around Le Muy, a transportation hub a dozen miles from the coast. Once organized on the ground, the 1st Airborne Task Force would go after Le Muy and keep German reinforcements from reaching the beachheads—blocking roads, laying ambushes, and killing any unfortunate Germans they stumbled across.
Attacker: American (550th Glider Infantry Regiment)

2025-01-09(A) Justin DiSabatino vs D American winThe Germans spread out across the board to cover all avenues of the American approach, choosing buildings with long sight lines to make it hard for the Americans to advance and delay the attack on building P2 as long as possible. A few key events made their defenses collapse sooner than expected; the German MMG malf'd on the first time firing and broke on repair and the Americans passed MCs at an above average rate. The Americans advanced across the board with a stronger force on the left flank, breaking and eliminating Germans to avoid any late rallies that may have let the Germans take back buildings to the rear. By the bottom of turn 5, the Americans had met the VC.

2023-07-02(D) Tony Fermendzin vs John Fermendzin American win
2022-05-08(D) Jack Wilson vs Dale Wetzelberger American winAfter the first game where I was the American, we switched sides and reloaded. Although I made a fight of it, Dale drove my Germans back relentlessly. It seemed I couldn't pass MC. Add to that the German ELR was 2, so I was not only breaking but downsizing more than I would have wished. Dale was very good at shutting down my rout lanes. Still, the game came down to the last turn and a CC scramble in the final P2 building. Suffice it to say my Germans ran out of blood before they ran out of heart.
Having now played this scenario twice, I would agree that it is tilted toward the American player. If I ever played it again as the Germans, I would definitely negotiate for the 2 LMG balance.
